I mean, It's Bill Clinton gonna be there.....How many SS agents will it take to keep him from doing something stupid with one of her bridesmaids?

I have unconfirmed reports that the wedding invitations requested "No blue dresses". Also, reports are that people are discouraged from standing between Bill and Hillary, for fear that they will freeze to death....

However: I see this as good news....It means that at least someone in the government must think that the AZ law sill be upheld, despite the activist judge who put a hold on it until it is adjudicated by a court......and, of course, the myriad appeals which will follow....(seriously, while her arguments were stupid and poorly thought out, I think that she had good reason to put a stay on the law until it IS reviewed by a court) ....if they didn't feel that it would be upheld, then they wouldn't be making contingency plans to get around the resultant issues.

So I see this as good news. My thought is that the Administration and the DNC (but I repeat myself) are just hoping that this is held off until after the elections before there is any decision.

Who is the "Us"?? That would be those who believe against statism, and for states rights. Those who believe in the rule of law, and that the law should be followed, not ignored. We believe that if the law needs changing to meet new conditions, then we have procedures in place to do so, and we should follow those procedures, not allow the laws to be ignored by some part of the government, nor should that same government be allowed to force the non enforcement of a law, either through a presidential decree, nor through the courts. Those of us who believe that the government should worry about national security, and police, and fire protection, and not about paying unproductive and shortsighted people to do less. Those of us who believe in less government, not more..Those of us who believe in getting ahead by working, and taking charge of our life, not taking what the government gives us and asking for more but never doing anything to personally improve our lives....Those of us who believe that to be a citizen is a right, but one which comes with an obligation to give to the country, not just take....

"Them" would be those who disagree....Those who would flaunt their failure to follow the law. Those who care less for the country and the welfare of its citizens than the welfare of those outside the country, and who illegally enter its borders and who do not contribute to the system. Those who think that human rights trump the rights of the citizens of this country, and who would hurt those who make this country great in order to help those who failed to do so in their own country. "Them" would be those who feel that the greatness of the US is not the citizens, but rather the leaders and the "State", and who would do anything to make themselves be the leaders (and those folks who support such misguided fools). Those who would use anything to stay in power, even to the point of weakening their country in order to make "the end justify the means" ....Those who would not raise the "downtrodden" by giving them the means and opportunity to succeed or fail on their own, but rather by tearing down the very people who have made this country great though their own hard work and efforts. Who would rather level the playing field by shaving off the high spots instead of filling in the low spots.

Over at Tams, there is a discussion as to whether the issue of illegal immigration is the point of conflict which will be divisive enough. I say yes, it has the potential to be. I also suggest that this could lead to civil war, as the Statists reach too far, and the rest of us (the productive bill paying 52% of the citizens that are really paying the bills for the country) soon stand up and cry "ENOUGH!".

This may well be the thing that sparks the fire.

I sincerely hope not....I hope that fire never ignites. But the fuel is stacked, and the conflagration will happen if we are not careful.

They think that we "Tea Party" and "country folk" her in flyover country are mean spirited, and they accuse us of being violent. They have no idea of the kind of violence we law abiding citizens are capable of, but which we seldom ever let escape the leash of decency by which we hold it in check. They haven't seen the kind of violence which awaits them if and when the spark ignites the differences in the country. I hope that no one ever sees that. But I think it is coming....if not this issue, then the next.

Some people don't understand what war, and fighting in general, is all about.

Kill people, break things, in larger numbers than your opponent, until such time as he is orced to give up the fight.

If this offends the other side, too bad. If they really really don't like it, even better. If it makes them uncomfortable enough to give up the fight earlier, then more power to the fighters who are making them unhappy. You can't kill people in wholesale lots and yet be "culturally sensetive" at the same time.

But then again, true warriors make the weenies feel , well, kinda scared and weak kneed, and causes them to have to change their undewear more often. And it is thesse weenies who weaken the nation, and hobble the warriors in their mission. Niceness has no place in war. Horably killing the enemy does, but in the end, you ARE killing them. IF the condition of the body is not to the liking of his survivors, well, as the saying goes....."Don't want none? Don't bring none." The folks fighting against the coalition in Afghanistan seem to have less respect for our warriors than ours do for theirs.....So if occasionally someone on our side does something that they don't like with one of their dead, then that should be a lesson to them as well. I don't see where they have taken the time to worry about our cultural sensetivities when the blow themselves up in a crowd, or behead or mutilate folks on our side. And, to be honest, they seem to feel any worries we might have about offending them on our part as weakness.

Thing is, there has to be a balance between freedom, and tolerance, and realizing the lessons of history. While there is a part of me which wishes to allow the mosque to be built (the tolerant, easygoing part, which recognizes religious freedom, and believes that if they have the money to buy the land, and pay off the politicians and building inspectors follow the proper procedures, they should be allowed to build) and the part of me that realizes that Islam is a patient religious and political movement which will see this as another step towards their conquest of the US....Next step Dhimmitude.

If the pattern of history is followed, there will next be some sort of complaint against the neighbors, with restrictions requested in the name of "religion"....Think of the demands for foot washing basins in the airport in Kansas City for the taxi drivers. Expect the mosque to demand that no pork products or alcohol are served within 500 ft of the mosque....and many other slow but steady reductions in control by the city and the state...Read the 2nd article to see how the Muslim taxi drivers in Minnesota refused to carry passengers with alcohol, or to carry dogs...even guide dogs. It's an example of how they try to bring their culture to the US, and normalize it.

History shows that most temples are built on or near sites of conquest, or on and with the rubble of the previous owners religious buildings....Is this the case here? Or is it just an attempt to take control of an area near a major Muslim victory against infidels and their culture? Perhaps I am wrong in all of this,,,,Perhaps this is just a matter of a bunch of people wanting a place to worship in their own way.....But I think that this is more than that. I think it is a symbol of control and domination of the infidel in his own garden.

Send the link to all your friends. You haven't seen diddly on your local or national news media, have you? Wonder why? Are they afraid? Or are they complicit in the quest for conquest? Why haven't we heard about this via the Mainstream Media? We hear all about Lindsay Lohan...on and on....ad nauseum, Isn't this more important? Shouldn't the MSM do the job we expect and cover this story at least a bit....Isn't something like this more important to the nation?

I am all for religious freedom. But this is, at best, insensitive....If the Muslims wish for free reign, then they should begin by setting an example in their own countries...Is there a single synagogue or Christian church in Saudi Arabia?

The chore of cleaning is the only thing I regret after a day at the range.....

But spending an afternoon at the range with Midwest Chick, Og, and Partner is still worth the effort of scrubbing the lead and powder ash from the barrel.

We caused a great deal of tissue and organ damage to the paper targets, then burned the rest of the pistol ammo with wholesale slaughter of bowling pins.

Og is a mean shot with his .380 Colt (officers?) and Partner is greased lightning on ball bearings with his new 92....Midwest Chick is also a mean shot with my 1911. We all ran out of centerfire and finished the genocide with our .22 pistols.

If there is a better way to waste an afternoon for me, than turning loaded rounds into smoke and noise, in the company of good people.... then I cannot tell you what it is.

Of course, there is this to consider.....It's not the speaker, or even the message, but the reaction of the audience (in this case, the NAACP members). Were these white cops, then, of course, the outcry, the wailing and gnashing of teeth would still be resonating.

Women bemoan the lack of what they perceive as manliness in the men they meet and date, and yet they often wish that the man they might meet will be "sensitive", "caring", able to share his emotions, nurturing, and in other words, act like one of their girlfriends.

YOU CAN"T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, LADIES! You want a man, then get a man. Want a metrosexual weenie? Then go get one of those. While the traits are not necessarially mutually exclusive, if you want a soft, girly man then expect to get one that is soft, and most likely a beta male. Or, deal with the fact that the traits of a manly man (by whatever definition you may use) often come with....well, lets call it baggage.

First, you have to decide what you want in a man. Do you want Dirk Dastardly, the guy that makes your blood boil when you read your "bodice ripper"? Do you seek a man who will stand up for, provide for, and protect his family? Or do you want a male version of your girlfriends? A manly man may have some of, but only some of those qualities. He may not be as exciting as that fellow Dirk, nor as caring (or have as good a fashion sense) as the two gay guys across the street. He will not share "feelings" with you as your girlfriend does....He will have faults.

He will no doubt be less in touch with his emotions than those 2 gay guys, or as your girlfriends, but trust me, the manly man has emotions....He just won't let then show as much. He might take charge... He may be less of a housekeeper that you are, may not be able to detect the difference between pink and peach. He most likely will not share as much with you as to what his fears or frustrations are. He likely won't have a "feminine" side. Deal with it. You get what you choose to have.

Likely, your "manly man" will be able to do many things. Likely, he will expect you to do some things better than he can. Likely, he will have roles for men and women in his mind. He will likely be polite to women, open doors and pull out chairs and such. There will be conversational barriers which he will not comfortably cross until he gets to know you. He may like sports to a degree which you cannot understand. Accept the fact that he is not one of your girlfriends. Enjoy the differences. You want a female roomie born with testicles as original equipment? You (generally) aren't gonna find one who is a manly man.

And ladies:
When you reproduce, if you have a male child, develop him into a man. Don't try to hide his aggressiveness by not letting him play with "boy" toys....Don't drug him into docility, so he acts like a girl at school. . Let him have toy guns, let him have balls and bats, and when he plays team sports, let them keep score. Let him learn how to lose with honor, and win with grace. Teach him how to be courteous. Teach him manners to other people, and especially women. Teach him to treat women with respect. Be a mother which he can use a a yardstick against which to measure other women. Let him be a boy, so he can grow up to be a man, with guidance from you and his father.

Read this essay. Learn from it. Think of all those commercials which show wimpy, emasculated men who need their women to show them the way. Is it any wonder that your boy child is growing up to be a girlie-man? Teach him otherwise. Do so in order that the next generation of women can find men manly enough for them.

Seems the blogging host that was shut down was host to (alleged) Al Queda sites. I understand the (alleged) reasons for shutting the individual blogs down, but to take the whole server down for this? And confiscate the server with no recourse?

One wonders.

All those blogs, gone forever. For no real reason. It would (should) be technically feasible to dump all the data, or make a backup of the other blogs. Alternatively, to simply shut down access to the (alleged) blogs in question.

Methinks that there is something else involved in this.

And dollars to doughnuts the people using the (alleged) blogs for nefarious purposes will simply set up another account and be back in business in no time.

Is the DHS that technically inept? Or is there more to this? Or do they simply not care?

Was the culmination of the team effort, the national goal, that put 2 men on the moon.

and since then, the US hasn't done much, really, in space.

But that day, millions upon millions of people watched as 2 men took the first steps ever on another world.

Then we began the slide into socialism. Spending our money on those who refuse to work, and less and less on the things which make this country greater than it was.

Armstrong and Aldrin got the credit, and they were indeed brave men. But many others who worked to put them there should share in their glory. NASA had many workers who did their jobs to place those men on the moon.

Sadly, NASA has declined ever since.

But today we should remember those who made history......the entire team who placed Mr Armstrong in a position to be the first on the moon.

See HERE for their arguments as to why the mandate is legal.....It is now a tax, and comes under the commerce clause. Interesting change of story in the part of the left to keep the mandate legal.....

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go practice my knot tying skills. I believe that they will be in demand in the not to distant future. I may buy futures in companies which make and distribute rope as well.

If you haven't heard about Donald Berwick, the newly appointed "Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)" then you need to read THIS article.

Scary, for many reasons. He was a recess appointment, and therefore not subject to legislative review. He admires the (oh so successful!) socialized medicine model of the once great nation of Great Britain (now not so great...) and applauds health care rationing in such a system....

Of course, he has exempted himself and his immediate family from the same system he promotes.....

Read the article....both pages Then, when the anger fades from your eyes, realize that this man's boss is truly a socialist elitist.

But first, make sure that you cannot access any firearms for at least 15 minutes after reading. No ready access to axes, rope etc.

Seriously. This is the issue with Socialism. If you are not part of the ruling class, then you hope you can be a prostitute......At least they get paid when they get fucked.

A racist organization (NAACP), which practices racism and excludes those not of the "right" race, and promotes and preaches (and condones) racism regularly at meetings and dinners has the audacity to condemn a movement which is inclusive (or actually just doesn't care about race) like the Tea Party and thinks that everyone will just believe what they say?

Lying sack of socialist shits. If the American people really knew how much you have, and are, screwing them, they'd burn DC to the ground, and no Senator or Representative would ever be safe from harm again.

"Dear Laser Enthusiasts, This announcement is to let the laser community know that our laser hobby is currently under attack. Last month, we received a cease and desist letter from Lucasfilm demanding that we discontinue, recall and modify our laser products they referred to as "lightsabers" or face imminent legal action. CNN - 'Star Wars' creator says laser too much like lightsaber Lasers are have a wide variety of applications in the scientific, medical, and industrial fields. We cannot allow George Lucas to threaten the livelihood and freedom of laser and flashlight technology. Science developed from decades of research should not be owned by science fiction.

The truth is a real bitch to those who are city liberals, isn't it? Apparently, some folks are so isolated that they cannot imagine that that meat which they buy in a store was once a sentient, living, breathing animal.

I was raised in a rural household. We raised chickens and lambs for slaughter every year. Some of them we slaughtered ourselves. My parents made sure that I know where my meat came from...

I like steak, chops, roasts, yard-bird, turkey, venison, etc. I have the teeth of a carnivore, and use them. Joyously. I like meat, but I understand where from it came.

Apparently, not so with some folks. Do they think that that steak that they eat is grown in a vat somewhere?

So if Obama is against the AZ immigration law "because we can't have 50 states with 50 different laws" then why is he not going after all 50 states which have differing laws on welfare, eminent domain, drinking ages, or concealed carry?

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.

Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.

When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.

Linda is female, blonde, a Democrat and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence.

So the big O has decided to put politics and ideology over the security of the citizens of the United States.

Seems that they are going ahead with the lawsuit against Arizona regarding the new law allowing the police and other LEO to check citizenship or immigration status during traffic stops or other interactions.

So the security of the nation and the citizens (and taxpayers) of the state of Arizona takes a backseat to the liberal ideology.

Check.

Much like the parks that are now off limits to the US citizens who own them in order that the drug gangs from Mexico can operate freely, will the administration abandon the state of AZ? Since the feds won't do anything, and now they are trying to prevent any local LEO from protecting the state, will they just relinquish the territory of Arizona?

Perhaps this is an attempt to get all those immigrants into the US so that he can grant them citizenship in his "comprehensive immigration reform" in order to get all those new voters lined up to support the DNC candidates. ???

Or perhaps he has decided that it is up to the federal government to ignore the issue, not the states.

I am sure you can figure out who's neck the thing needs to be around.
Lies, lies, lies. The Obama Administration seems to think that each of us will accept this....They have gotten away with adding much to our burden.

Will we stand idly by and allow him and his cohorts to continue to destroy this country and our way of life?

What would those 56 men who signed the Declaration think of us today? Would they think that their sacrifice was in vain? Would they think that we are worth their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor"?

I think not. Were they alive today, they'd be organizing for another revolution. And looking at us with disgust.

Saturday, July 3, 2010

Today is not about hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill, not about taking the day off work, or a three-day weekend....It's not about having the day off to spend the weekend at the lake with your boat or the jet-skis....It is not about drinking beer with others.... or fireworks...Or any combination of the above.

Today is the day when we celebrate the beginning of the country known as the United States. Today was the date that the Declaration of Independence was ratified by congress. This was not the only significant day in the birth of our nation, but today is the day on which we celebrate the declaration that the thirteen colonies would no longer answer to King George.

Today was the day in which 56 signers of the Declaration chose to defy the King, and to declare their independence. They chose to sign, pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Many did indeed lose their fortunes, some their lives, but all held onto their honor.

We have a country today, arguably the best on earth, only because these men took the step they did, and then later, created the Constitution which sets forth the principles of governance of we, the citizens of this United States. But this post is not about the Constitution, but rather the day which memorializes the declaration that this country and the colonies and its citizens would no longer be subjects of, nor under the rule of, a far away king. This day, 234 years ago, those 56 signers threw their defiance at a country and a king, and declared a new country. They became criminals in the eyes of their then king and his government. It took courage to do what they did. They essentially started a war.

So today, and Monday if you have it off, enjoy your beer, your hot dogs/hamburgers, etc. Live life happy if you are at the lake enjoying your boating. If you are at a gathering, be happy with your friends or family.

But remember why you have this day off from work. Take a moment to reflect on the momentous thing which we memorialize and celebrate on this Independence day, this July 4th 2010. Remember what happened in 1776 and be glad that it did. Take a moment, raise a glass, THINK about what this day really means. If you have children, take the time to explain why this is such a momentous day. Explain to them that it is not just about a day off of work, nor fireworks, but why this day is important. Take the time to follow the link and read the text of the declaration. Think what a momentous document it is.

μολὼν λαβέ

This phrase was reportedly the defiant response of King Leonidas I of Sparta to Xerxes I of Persia when Xerxes demanded that the Greeks lay down their arms and surrender prior to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC.

I am just striving towards mediocrity....
Just a normal middle American middle class guy. I own my own business, employ a few people, and try to make a buck. In my (slight) spare time, I read a few blogs, shoot a bit, and rest.
